Strongid Paste is a non-prescription (OTC) product available as individual oral dose syringes used in horses and foals for the removal and control of mature infections of large strongyles, small strongyles, pinworms, and large roundworms.
Strongid Paste is a pale-yellow-to-buff paste containing 43.9% w/w pyrantel pamoate in an inert vehicle.  Each syringe contains 3.6 grams pyrantel base in 23.6 g (20 mL) paste. Each mL contains 180 mg pyrantel base as pyrantel pamoate.

 

Strongid Paste is approved for:

 

Directions For Use:
Strongid Paste is to be administered as a single oral dose of 3 mg pyrantel base per pound of body weight.  The syringe has four (4) weight mark increments.  Each weight mark indicates the recommended dose for 300 pounds of body weight.
Position screw-gauge over appropriate mark on plunger.  Each mL contains 180 mg pyrantel base as pyrantel pamoate.

 

After removing the cap, the paste should be deposited on the dorsum of the tongue.  Introduce the nozzle end of the syringe at the corner of the mouth.  Direct the syringe backwards and depress the plunger to deposit the paste onto the tongue.  Given in this manner, it is unlikely that rejection of the paste will occur.  Raising the horse’s head sometimes assists in the swallowing process.  When only part of the paste has been used, replace the cap on the syringe nozzle.

 

 

For maximum control of parasitism, it is recommended that foals (2 to 8 months of age) be dosed every four (4) weeks.  To minimize the potential source of infection that the mare may pose to the foal, the mare should be treated one (1) month prior to the anticipated foaling date followed by retreatment 10 days to two (2) weeks after birth of foal.  Horses and ponies over eight (8) months of age should be routinely dosed every six (6) weeks.

 

Precautionary Statements:
Always follow packaging instructions before use, and consult the manufacturer or your vet for any possible interactions that may occur with other medications. Keep this and all medications out of the reach of children.
